Objective: use is the appropriate term, not utilize.

E & T: Looks fine, I prefer a colon between the degree and school, but that is my preference.

H of Q: 1. Dump considerable, sounds overstated. Use "Licensed" as you are a Licensed Practical Nurse.

5. I would change ethical and non-judgemental to "Culturally sensitive" and dump the rest. Claiming to be non-judgemental sounds to me as bad as saying you never make errors. We all have our times when we need to sit back and recognize if we are being judgemental or not, so better to not state something that really isn't true.

7. Dump "possess" because grammatically it would be "Posseses" based on previous subject and tense, which then sort of makes the sentence look ironically wrong.

8. Ok

9. Just punctual. Always on time is repetitive.

10. Perhaps something more descriptive. Understands the importance of meeting deadlines. However, this sounds more administrative than nursing, so perhaps something like "Values timely administration of medications, assessments, and charting."

Skills:

1. Tighten it up. Nurse managers know what ADL's are, just state you can perform the duty, no need to describe.

2. Ok

3. Ok

4. Ok

5. Ok

6. Ok

7. Ok

8. Ok

9. Dump the Hep B, it's not a selling point.

I would ditch the whole clinical section. They know you have to do clinicals to get your license.

Relevant Employment: Ok

Other Employment: Would make me think you only stay in a job for about six months on average. Might be worth ditching that whole section.

References: Most guides now state not to even include this as all employers understand references are available. See this guide for more helpful hints: http://www.dailywritingtips.com/resume-writing-tips/

Cover Letter: Avoid adverbs. Passion is not generally assumed to be "real or unreal" you are generally passionate or not. Dump extraneous adverbs like "very". They don't truly add

Once again remove utilize. It is an unprofessional use of the word "use".

Double check capitalization. I am a recent graduate from Norquest College with a diploma as a Licensed Practical Nurse in the Practical Nurse program."

Have you sat for your boards yet? This is not clear.

"As a teaching facility and a variety of clinical settings,"

Tenses and subjects need clarification throughout. Who is a teaching facility? Perhaps something like "I am aware that your facility offers a variety of clinical settings, and would offer me the opportunity to gain a varied experience."

Through my clinical practicum's I have also gained the experience in medication administration.

Remove the apostrophe in practicum.

OP: Sorry if this comes across as "OMG psycho edits" but I take it seriously that if you say "I have strong written communication skills" that you show that in clarity of context and meaning in your writing.

Take the edits as you will, look over some resources, and best of luck in your endeavors!!
